Luke 2:41-52
41Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover. 42And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual for the festival. 43When the festival was ended and they started to return, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. 44Assuming that he was in the group of travelers, they went a day’s journey. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends. 45When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. 46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48When his parents saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety.” 49He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” 50But they did not understand what he said to them. 51Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor.

I gotta a revelation after the meeting….. hold on to your seats i suppose or not.
So Jesus question to his parents in last nites reading, ” did you not know I must be in my fathers house”?? I am reading a book a xmas gift from Kirsten called “The Questions of Jesus”. last nite after coming home from our meeting I opened up this book for the first time and there it was, this question we had just talked about. Hows that for timing?? Reading the authors reflections I meditated a bit about the meeting and what we talked about. . And I think that in order for me to follow Jesus I too must be in my fathers house , Jesus house, and spend time with him to get to know him . I spend time with him by praying but also just trying to live my life reflecting his life and teachings, AS we said by loving one another. And that is radical in this world if I make a seriouos attempt at it. So I will indeed try to do this loving. And after spending time in Jesus house, I will return home as he did. to my everyday life and apply it. Oh well thats it.
